About 2 days before I bought my newest toy, I noticed it was gettting sprayed by the sprinkler system. :down Anyway..bought it a few days later and got it home that night. Next morning woke up and washed it. Spots didn't budge. Didn't have time to do anything else until today. Hit them with...

I'm not sure what it's called. The dealer suprised me by waxing my car :nono while I was doing paperwork. Anyways, they apparently used a rotary and left a nice trail of swirl marks. (halo swirls?) I have in my garage Poorboys wash, SSR 2.5, 1, EX, EX-P, Nattys, and a PC with a few different...
